This is a lot of power for the money!
We kept costs down using seasoned GM block and heads that we have digitally remastered from top to bottom on our CNC machines. Both block main and head fasteners are upgraded to P1 Manufacturing studs.
The crank we use is a stock-stroke, forged Callies Compstar with 8 counterweights. The additional counterweights increase overall stiffness by about 25% and reduce harmonics so that the crank does not want to flex as much. Bottom line is that the engine lives longer because crank bending and twisting under heavy load is minimized. The forged rods are Callies Compstar Extremes. These are topped with Diamond R series dish pistons and we computer balance the rotating assembly.
The top-end features seasoned GM LS3 heads that we port our 5-axis CNC. We also machine the combustion chamber to optimize for boost. The valve job and bowl blending is done on our Newen CNC. The heads are assembled with Inconel exhaust valves, dual springs and titanium retainers. The COMP BSR shaft rockers provide maximum valve train stability. A custom COMP hydraulic roller cam brings performance and durability without the maintenance hassle of valve lash adjustment associated with mechanical cams. Johnson lifters improve reliabiity and longevity.
We can build this engine with a range of intake manifolds and intercoolers. The default choice is a Holley Lo-Ram with a 417 Motorsports 2,000 hp rated liquid-to-air intercooler. The intercooler comes dressed with a billet water intake manifold as can be seen in the photoset. We like this system because it is compact, effective and easy to install. Effective air-to-air intercooling could eliminate the need for the liquid-to-air intercooler system entirely. Regardless of how you do it, holding the intake air temps down is critical when running gasoline. Water-methanol injection is another great supplemental means of keeping IATs down.
That brings us to the patented, Made the the USA, Bulleye 76mm TCT turbo. The patented three dimensional compressor wheel has greatly increased vane area allowing it to capture more air and generate more boost with less heat. Bullseye's NLX turbo is an available upgrade. Its features and benefits include a full ball-bearing design for faster spooling, no center nut for more vane area and an adjustable MAP groove for on-track tuning.
A Holley Terminator X engine management system runs the whole show with flawless precision. Your engine will be delivered to you with the tune from your dyno session already installed. This can upgraded to a Terminator X-Max to also act as a trans controller. It can also be paired with an optional Holley Digital Dash to solve all your instrument issues. FuelTech engine management systems are an available option.
The black anodized billet valve covers are standard. Want to customize the look or performance of your engine? Need a special oil pan? No problem. A range of serpentine systems are available and there are lots of personalizing touches we can add.
Headers are not included but can be ordered along with the required Turbo-Smart hardware.
